Textile Tools
2011
8.5" X 11"
YARN, PAPER, GRAPHITE
Through time the practice of making textiles by hand has become more and more rare, and many techniques are threatened or lost. These pencil line rubbings are explorations of the fragmentation that occurs to the textile tool that is beneath the paper; and attempts to speak to the fragmentation that has occurred to the object throughout history.
The objects participation in the re-invention of itself is representative of the change in perception that may occur within the viewer as they, in discovering what the drawing is, have a deeper and more critical experience when thinking about the object and its history.
